There is a stall selling hot noodles in a corner of the temple fair in Fence Mountain, the boss is a husband and wife, the craftsmanship is good, there are several kinds of noodles to choose from, knife-cut noodles, hot soup noodles, looking at the steaming smell of the aroma, Shen Leng still doesn't know where the bearded blacksmith of Fanbang has eaten four large bowls of noodles in one go, and it still looks like he is still unsatisfied.

"It's not that I'm reluctant to invite you."

Shen Leng stopped his beard: "If you eat again, there will be problems." ”

The bearded man glanced at Shen Leng gratefully: "Thank you, but I don't have the money to pay you back, and I won't sell my hands cheaply, so I can only thank you for inviting me to eat noodles." ”

"How long has it been since you've had a full meal?"

"It's not like I haven't eaten for a long time, I haven't eaten for three days."

The bearded man looked at Shen Leng: "I have walked all the way from Heiwu, and I have been walking for more than a year, and the money on my body has already been used up." ”

Shen Leng frowned: "You are from Heiwu?" ”

"Yes."

The bearded man looked at Shen Leng: "I was going to sell my hands to Heiwu, they had to let me take out my skills first, I said give me five thousand taels of silver first, they didn't give it, and scolded me as a liar, and then drove me out with a stick...... I said that as long as you buy my hand, I can help you defeat Ning Guo, and no one will believe me. ”

Shen Leng suddenly raised his hand and slapped the bearded man in the face, and with a snap, the sound was so loud that the noodle stall owner was startled.

"What are you doing!"

The bearded man stood up violently.

Shen Leng grabbed him by the collar and pressed him and sat there, snapping...... I slapped seven or eight times in a row, and my bearded face was swollen and tall, and the area of my face was enlarged a lot.

After Shen Leng finished smoking, he sat down and rubbed the noodle soup on his hands on his bearded clothes.

"I don't know what you're capable of, but I know your first choice is to help the Black Warriors fight me Daning."

The bearded man covered his face: "For the sake of you inviting me to eat noodles, I won't fight back, or I will kill you." ”

Syllable!

Shen Leng slapped him again.

The bearded man stood up again and glared at Shen Leng angrily, Shen Leng looked at him and said two words lightly: "Fight back." ”

The bearded man kicked towards Shen Leng, Shen Leng sat there without dodging, raised his hand to grab the bearded man's ankle and pulled it back, the bearded man's leg was pulled away by an astonishing amplitude, and the mouth in the bearded bush cracked open and screamed, and the painful face was twisted.

Shen Leng's hand pressed down, his bearded legs were almost cracked, and he held the table with one hand and begged: "Don't, let go." ”

Shen Leng: "Well, don't let go. ”

Press down again.

It seems that a soft clicking sound was faintly heard, and the bearded eyes rolled up, obviously hurting to the extreme.

Shen Leng let go of his hand, and the beard fell to the ground.

Shen Leng moved the stool forward, and sat there looking at the bearded man's distorted face: "I am the general of Daning, and now I will arrest you back on suspicion of being a black martial artist, you can think carefully about how to answer during the interrogation for a while, but one thing is certain, your heart is from the black martial arts side, so if nothing else, you will be beheaded." ”

Shen Leng got up: "Tie it up, take it back and hand it over to the Tingwei Mansion." ”

The bearded man seemed to have heard of the Tingwei Mansion as well, and struggled to get up and kneel there, the kind that knelt with his legs stuck, mainly because he couldn't close his legs for a while.

"General, general, don't kill me, I really have the ability to change the fortunes of the country, and the weapons that my hands can create can make Daning's army invincible on the battlefield, I swear what I said is true."

Shen Leng grabbed one of his hands and pressed it on the table, and took out the scabbard of the small hunting knife from his clothes: "I usually only cut people's faces for this thing, you are lucky, you are the first person to be cut by me." ”

After saying that, the scabbard rubbed on the back of the bearded man's hand, and suddenly a layer of flesh and skin fell off, and the hair on the back of the bearded hand was very thick, and this time even the hair sacs were removed.

"Ah...... Let go of me, you devil! ”

The bearded man wailed, looking like he was really scared to the extreme.

Shen Leng let go of his hand and wiped the scabbard of the little hunting knife: "Now tell me, what can you make." ”

An hour later, the cold General's Mansion.

In the side room, the bearded man looked at his bandaged hand like a cat's claw and sighed: "You are even more terrible than the black warriors, they just drove me away, thinking I was a liar, and you, you believe me, but you treat me like this." ”

Shen Leng frowned slightly, and the bearded man quickly shut up.

"Say."

"Yes, yes...... General, you also know that gunpowder was the first invention of your Central Plains, when I was still young, merchants from your Central Plains sold fireworks to our country, and all of a sudden, it became popular, and those rich families were proud to be able to buy your fireworks, but that kind of thing is not easy to keep and transport, so it is very expensive. ”

"My family is very poor, so I can't afford to buy fireworks, but fortunately I can still watch other people's homes set off, it's really beautiful, the beauty makes people feel dreamy, and then I can't help but go to a rich man's house and steal a few out, I just want to see what is in there."

The bearded man glanced at Shen Leng: "Firecrackers." ”

"What inspires me is your firecrackers, the kind that can explode."

He looked at Shen Leng and said seriously: "General, can you find the firecrackers, I'll show it to you." ”

Half an hour later, there was a loud bang, and the windows of Shen Leng's room were blown open.

The tea master in the main house was startled and rushed out of the house, and then he saw two black guys running out of the house, their faces black as if they had been smeared with several layers of ash on the bottom of the pot, and the bearded Fanbang man's hair was blown up and smoking.

"It's too simple, it's too simple, and it's easy to have problems without a suitable place for me to feel at ease."

The bearded man looked at Shen Leng: "General, but you should trust me." ”

Shen Leng coughed a few times: "Believe you, now I finally know why you have so many holes on your face, blow it up, I thought about cutting your face before I caught you back, but after the scabbard was taken out, I changed my mind and cut your face, that is, I barely found a flat face on your face." ”

The bearded man smiled wryly: "General, you give me ten days, give me enough gunpowder, and I'll make a list for you later, and prepare the things I need, and I promise to surprise you." ”

Shen Leng looked back at the side room: "The surprise is already there, if you can really make any big killers, I have to deduct some of the money I gave you to repair the house." ”

He asked the bearded man, "You just stole the fireworks once, why do you have so many ideas." ”

"Later ......"

The beard slapped the ashes on his body: "A merchant from your Central Plains felt that transportation was too labor-intensive, so he built a workshop in our country to make these things, in order to find out, I went to that workshop to be an apprentice, just don't need money to take care of food, you Central Plains people like me the most, so I left me." ”

The bearded man said: "That person is very bad, he doesn't have enough to eat, and he often beats and scolds me, but I don't lose either, I steal some things from him every day and take them home, and I think about these all day long, I have been working in that workshop for five or six years, so my Ning Yu is so good." ”

Shen Leng shook his head: "What you said is not the right accent, it is more like the Yue people who were wiped out by Daning in the south." ”

The beard pouted for a moment: "Isn't it Ningren?" ”

Shen Leng: "I'm not sure, but your accent is wrong." ”

The bearded man sighed: "Then it seems that I am wrong, that boss treats people too badly, after my three-year apprenticeship, he still didn't pay me, and then recruited a group of people and drove me away, so I went to Heiwu, I just want you Ning people to know that I am not easy to mess with." ”

Shen Leng looked at the pig-like face that was beaten by himself: "I didn't lose you, you don't even want to take revenge on Daning when you're not sure who you are?" ”

The bearded man smiled embarrassedly, and his smile became even uglier: "General, can you arrange a place for me, I will definitely let you see how amazing I am." ”

Shen Leng asked the tea master how much silver he still had at home, and the tea master took out some silver tickets, most of the money was in the sky ticket number, and there were also 1,800 taels of silver tickets at home, Shen Leng counted the whole 800 taels out: "This will give you a deposit, if you make something useful, I will give you another 4,200 taels of silver, if you can't do it, I will cut off your head with my own hands." ”

The bearded man nodded again and again: "General, don't worry, I will definitely do it." ”

Shen Leng ordered someone to send the bearded man away, and went to wash his face himself, and the tea master was curious: "What can he make?" ”

"Crossbow array."

Shen Leng thought for a while: "Let's call it this name for the time being, he told me his thoughts, Daning's repeater can shoot twelve crossbow arrows, which has already made the enemies of the Quartet fearful, if it can be made according to his idea, it can fire a hundred or even two hundred crossbow arrows at a time, you think about it, if we can build a hundred crossbow array vehicles, how much effect will it have when attacking the black martial arts, I probably understand what he meant, mainly gunpowder and wooden boxes with strange structures, and the crossbow arrows are placed in them, and the structure of the wooden box is extremely complex, It probably blows open a piece of iron when it explodes, and the piece of iron pops out to shoot the crossbow arrow. ”

Shoot hundreds of crossbow arrows at a time, and if the force is strong enough, it can make the army of the Black Warriors feel hopeless.

"This guy is fortunate not to fall on the side of the Black Warriors."

Shen Leng said as he walked out: "Arrange someone to protect him, don't let him have an accident and don't let him escape, I will go to the palace to see Your Majesty now." ”

Tea Master: "So urgent? ”

Shen Leng said: "Of course I have to hurry, I paid eight hundred taels of silver myself, and I have to come back with Your Majesty." ”

Tea Master: "What if Your Majesty asks you where you got the eight hundred taels of silver?" ”

Shen Leng: "This ......."

The tea master pointed to himself: "You just said mine, I borrowed it from someone else." ”

Shen Leng: "Is it okay for us to cheat Your Majesty's money like this?" ”

Tea Master: "If eight hundred for eight hundred, it doesn't seem to be good." ”

Shen Leng: "Then I will ask for one thousand six." ”

Tea Master: "Support you!" ”

Shen Leng: "Wait for my good news." ”
